"Your Highness?"
"Why are you lying here?!"
As he kicked the coffin lid away and saw the silhouette inside, Chen Yu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
But immediately after, he sensed that something was amiss.
He reached out his hand, pressing it against the princess's forehead.
"Dead..."
A chill spread throughout his body instantaneously. Chen Yu incredulously stepped back half a step, his mind buzzing.
'How did she die?'
'When did she die?'
'Who killed her?'
After a trio of questions, he glanced around warily. After a long silence, not yielding to despair, he reached out once more, touching the princess's chest, feeling intently.
His pupils dilated!
"There's still a heartbeat!"
"Fuck, she isn't dead?"
"..."
"No, she's dead. Brain dead, but her body is still alive..."
With a grim expression, he circled the crystal coffin several times, Chen Yu's scalp tingling: "She's become a vegetable."
